Sixteen!.......2004-11-22

Besides just being a novelty to hear Prince at age 16, the cds are great quality recordings and bumping. "Just Another Sucker" is on par with songs like Uptown, with Prince's falsetto and a great groove and some simple but driving guitars. Both cds are great. Recorded mostly in 1974-1977, they're apparently "the first time Prince was in a recording studio." They're more than listenable and the quality of the recordings is great. There's also a practice recording, which is very low budget, but has a charm to it. Some instrumentals have Prince going at it on the guitar with a sort of discoey synth groove.

Early sounding & Experimental Prince.......2002-07-21

This is a 2 CD set featuring Prince's voice, and probably (though not listed) his guitar playing. Prince co-wrote only one song. Musically it's an interesting jazz album, heavy on the early 80's style synth/beat. Some of it is Prince-catchy, a lot of it sounds more like a jam session than an album. Expect something that sounds like "Controversy" but with his Purple highness using a lower voice and I think you'll be in the right state of mind to enjoy it. I'm more into 'Thieves in the Temple'/'Gold Experience'-type Prince so it just wasn't quite my cup of Tea.
